Vertical, horizontal and fold-down grab bars make it easier for disabled passengers to transfer from their chairs to use the lavatory with or without assistance. A lower sink height allows disabled passengers to use the facility while seated. Other features include curved floor-to-ceiling strip lights, large vanity and full length mirrors, as well as a side-shelf for personal items, anti-slip flooring, anti-microbial surface finishes, and touchless faucet and flush mechanisms.
“Many disabled passengers avoid flying because of the compromises they have to make – especially when using the on-board lavatory,” Daniel Clucas, Senior Designer at Acumen Design Associates said. “During our research we heard first-hand how those that do fly will even avoid using the lavatory altogether if possible.”
